Default GARAGE Progress

I guess I'll keep editing my orig post with the updates. 1/13 UPDATED

This is back in OCT, this is one of the pictures I had to take for the township, so this is the offical "Before" picture:

This is a few days ago, notice the tree and hedges are removed:

Wed 1/9, the foundation is about 80% dug:

Thurs 1/10 Foundation is dug and they start forming it up:

FRI 1/11 RAINED out
Sat 1/12 Forming is completed and piping and conduit rough ins are set

Monday 1/14 concrete is scheduled :)

Do you have room for one of those lifts (e.g. "Backyard Buddy")??

Yes, the one bay is going to be set up for such a lift.
Why? Do you have for sale?

No, sorry.....but my 2 car garage has a cathedral ceiling, and I'm seriously considering one (not before summer though). Seems like an excellent idea, not only for space saving, but ease of access to underneath. Which lift are you going for....and any pros/cons you can share?? Suggestions for proper electrical wiring? Thanks! :)

Good luck with everything. Hopefully you will get some good weather in the next couple of days. I forgot to ask you if you will be putting floor drains in? A lift is an excellent idea. Thanks for the info. :cheers:

I've looked at Stinger and Backyard Buddy mainly for the dimensions so I could have extra concrete poured at those points. A friend who has a shop may be upgrading a lift soon and he wants 1K for it. So I see what's up when I'm ready.
